Prince William made a surprise appearance on 'The Graham Norton Show' on October 23, 2026, where he jokingly recalled meeting Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce during the London leg of the Eras Tour in June 2024. The Prince of Wales playfully described his attempts to exclude the Kansas City Chiefs tight end from a family selfie so that the photo would only feature himself, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Swift. Despite his mock frustration, the resulting group photo was famously used by Swift on Instagram to make her relationship with Kelce 'Instagram official.'
